Wild Alaskan beauty. Glaciers, mountains and cool riding by the sea
This 520 mile tour on all sealed roads starts from the sea at Homer,
then heads northwest to Anchorage and along the Matanuska river east again before heading south back to the sea at Valdez.
The route takes in stunning Alaskan views of nature, wildlife, glaciers and mountains.

Pristine wilderness, bear, moose, bison, deere, river fishing. Soaring snow peaked mountains that make Alps look (and actually are) tame by comparison. Gorgeous forests, cute towns as side trips/detours, glaciers literally road-side in summer that you can walk on, hot springs, charming places far apart where you can sleep/eat. Its 2-lane twisty where you can push the envelope on decent asphalt -- but at the risk of a big mammal around the next bend popping out out the woods to say hi. Its as good as nature riding gets within a 1st world country. Highest recommendation, will do it again. Goldwing is fine, as is full-dress Harley, as is an enduro.
